What would be a trip to Jordan without stopping by the Jordan river to the place of Christ's baptism. Of course, the ACTUAL location is a bit difficult to identify but they have recently discovered a first century church built near this area celebrating the baptism of the Savior. I will admit - the actually location was not impressive. The recent drought has left most of the banks dry.With it's close location to the Dead Sea most of the water has been irrigated before it even gets to this point. So - not much waterbut it is the right idea, right? We sat near here and read the account and discussed the event in some detail.
